Not two years ago, Mr. Klarman, a registered independent, was the biggest donor to the Republican Party in New England. According to The Boston Globe, during the Obama administration, Mr. Klarman gave more than $7 million to the party. If you look at his Federal Election Commission filings for 2016, you will find $100,000 to the Hillary Action Fund, but mostly a long list of donations to names like Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Chris Christie and the Republican National Committee.
For Mr. Klarman, the logic is plain: “We need to turn the House and Senate as a check on Donald Trump and his runaway presidency.”
The investor has been alarmed by Republican attempts at voter suppression, and by a president who demonizes immigrants and suggests that Muslims, Hispanics and blacks are second-class citizens. He told me he feels “betrayed” by “spineless” Republicans who have, with rare exceptions, been “profiles in cowardice.” Anyone still counting on them to stand up to the president is delusional. A Democratic majority, Mr. Klarman said, is the only option to “act as a check and balance.”
Seth Klarman, a hedge fund manager reportedly worth far more than the con artist, had this to say about Republicans:

they “were supposed to be the fiscally responsible party.” But they’re running a trillion-dollar deficit and have given a huge tax cut “largely to rich people.” He added, “Whatever irresponsible fiscal things the Democrats do won’t be worse than what the Republicans have already done.”
